A LITTLE BOY NEARLY DIES – HIS PARENTS ASK FRIENDS TO PRAY – AND WHEN HE RECOVERS “BY A MIRACLE”, HE TALKS OF THE PEOPLE HE HAS MET IN HEAVEN.

Based on the No 1 New York Times best-selling book by the boy’s father, Todd Burpo, “Heaven is for real” portrays a small-town father who must find the courage and conviction to share his son’s extraordinary, life-changing experience with the world.

The film stars Oscar nominee and Emmy award winning actor Greg Kinnear as Todd Burpo and co-stars Kelly Reilly as Sonja Burpo, the real-life couple whose son Colton (newcomer Connor Corum) claims to have visited heaven during a near-death experience. Colton recounts the details of his amazing journey matter-of-factly, such as meeting his miscarried sister and his dead great-grandfather.

The film is due in selected British cinemas this Easter.
